While working in the Community Archive in Minden, I came across some correspondence that led me to contemplate my motives. In 1960, two former adherents of the German Christian cause exchanged letters. How, they asked each other, could they promote new approaches to the history of the church under National Socialism? Despite the neutral language, their intentions were clear: they wanted someone to write a positive account that would help rehabilitate their movement. A doctoral student might assume the task, one of the men suggested. His friend was dubious. A student might be found, he responded, but who would supervise such a work? Those letters were written the year I was born, and both men have since died. In a sense, the line of inquiry that brought me to this study was the opposite of theirs. To me, the German Christian movement embodies a moral and spiritual dilemma I associate with my own religious questions: What is the value of religion, and in particular of Christianity, if it provides no defense against brutality and can even become a willing participant in genocide? Perhaps my background in a family of ethnic German Mennonites from Ukraine has made me sensitive to and wary of certain connections between religious and ethnic identities. In my initial reading about Protestants in Nazi Germany, I was struck by what seemed contorted efforts to fuse Christianity with Germanness and purge it of Jewish influence. I wanted to explore how members of the German Christian movement synthesized Christianity and National Socialism, two systems of belief most people would regard as fundamentally irreconcilable. This book is the result. < previous page_xi next page > page If you like this book, buy it! < previous page_xii next page > page Page xii Many people shared in this project at every stage. It is a great pleasure to thank at least some of those whose financial backing, guidance, and encouragement made its completion possible. A fellowship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and a Sir James Lougheed Award from the Alberta Heritage Foundation allowed me to conduct extensive research in Germany in 1988-89. Additional funding from the German Academic Exchange Service and the University of Vermont's Committee on Research and Scholarship enabled subsequent shorter research trips. Staff at the many archives I visited in Germany were consistently helpful and accommodating. Encounters with archivists Bernd Hey in Bielefeld, Dietrich Meyer in Düsseldorf, Helmut Baier in Nuremberg, and Walter Fleischmann-Bisten in Bensheim helped keep my work on track. Professor Kurt Meier of Leipzig met with me and offered useful suggestions. Head archivist Hans-Eberhard Brandhorst in Minden kindly allowed access to the uncataloged collection of the Kirchengeschichtliche Arbeitsgemeinschaft (Working Group for Church History) there. Eberhard Bethge encouraged me and granted permission to use the Bonhoeffer papers; Herta Staedel and Annie Hauer allowed me to consult the papers of their late husbands. Retired pastor Herward Reiser in Augsburg put me in touch with Mrs. Staedel and offered his own insights. Professor Rudolf Fischer of the University of Bielefeld generously shared his collection of pamphlets and clippings from the National Socialist period, and Marlies Ostendorf and Dietrich Becker provided hospitality, ideas, and contacts. Conversations with Victoria Barnett and Anja Baumhofin Bielefeld and Nina Lübbren in Berlin helped clarify some key ideas. Mentors, colleagues, and friends in Canada, the United States, and Germany have been enormously helpful. Annelise Thimme has inspired me since she supervised my master's thesis at the University of Alberta. Gerhard L. Weinberg of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill remains an unparalleled source of frank, insightful guidance. Daniel S. Mattern, Michaela Hönicke, and Cindy Hahamovitch read drafts and offered incisive suggestions. Boris Ruge sent me a copy of the John Heartfield photomontage. John S. Conway of the University of British Columbia and Rainer Hering at the Staatsarchiv in Hamburg provided stimulating and thoughtful criticisms of earlier versions of the work. Colleagues at the University of Vermont, in particular Patrick Hutton, James Overfield, and David Scrase, have given me advice, encouragement, and much more than simply a place to do my work. Lewis Bateman at the University of North Carolina Press has been unfailingly supportive. Two readers for the press < previous page_xii next page > page If you like this book, buy it! < previous page_xiii next page > page Page xiii made detailed, helpful comments that improved the work significantly. As managing editor and copyeditor, Ron Maner and Trudie Calvert have been wonderful.

Martina Miechová Vedoucí práce: Tereza Matějčková, Ph.D. 2019 Prohlašuji, že jsem práci vypracovala samostatně, že jsem řádně citovala všechny použité prameny a literaturu a že práce nebyla využita v rámci jiného vysokoškolského studia či k získání jiného nebo stejného titulu. V Praze dne 29.7.2019 ........................................ Poděkování Tereza Matějčková, Ph.D. mě podpořila povzbuzujícími konzultacemi, podnětnými připomínkami a trpělivostí během doby, kdy práce vznikala. Jagodě Mackowiak vděčím za přátelskou podporu a Mgr. Veronice Krajíčkové za neocenitelnou radu v začátcích. Nepřímo se o mou práci zasloužil i Adam Anczyk, PhD, který ve mně vzbudil zájem o téma novopohanství a jeho transformace v dnešní společnosti. Všem bych tímto ráda upřímně poděkovala. ABSTRAKT Tato práce si klade za cíl zmapovat vývoj politického myšlení Severského novopohanství a určit faktory, které vedou k politizaci konkrétních typů novopohanských skupin a k jejich příklonu k pravicovému radikalismu. První kapitola po úvodu sestává ze čtyř případových studií, z nichž každá představuje jiný typ skupiny z pohledu místa a okolností vzniku, kontextu, v němž se se vyvíjela jejich náboženská a politická přesvědčení, a ze způsobu legitimizace jejich případného politického aktivismu. Následující dvě kapitoly se soustředí na analýzu historických souvislostí, které zapříčinily rozdílné ideologické směřování skupin v rámci dvou hlavních typů Severského pohanství, Ásatrú a Odinismu, a to ve dvou odlišných kulturních prostředích Evropy a Spojených Států. Závěrečná kapitola přináší syntézu zkoumaných skupin ve vzájemných souvislostech spolu s jejich historickým pozadím; tato syntéza pak nabízí možnou interpretaci procesu jejich radikalizace.

  • ACCH Quarterly Vol. 18, No. 1, March 2012 Letter from the Editors: March 2012
    ACCH Quarterly Vol. 18, No. 1, March 2012 Letter from the Editors: March 2012 Dear Friends, This issue of our quarterly journal marks the beginning of its third year in its new format. As an independent venture, not funded by anybody, our aim is to provide you, our readers, with evaluations of new publications in the field of contemporary church history, i.e. from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. Our aim is to do this as soon after publication as possible in order to assist your teaching and research. Our team of a dozen editors is drawn from both Europe and North America. Our mandate is to be both ecumenical and international. Because most of us began with an interest in Germany, the affairs of the German churches are frequently examined. But, at least in some sense, this is not fortuitous. For the German churches, Catholic, Protestant and Free Churches, provided striking examples of the perils and dangers for Christian witness during Germany’s subjection to two rival totalitarian systems in the past century. That is why we welcome our Berlin colleague, Manfred Gailus’ review of Martin Greschat’s survey of Protestantism in the Cold War, and Mark Ruff’s comment on the recent article by Olaf Blaschke on the Roman Catholic Kommission für Zeitgeschichte (Commission for Contemporary History). At the same time we ask you to note the positive steps taken to improve Catholic-Jewish relations, as recorded in the collected speeches of Pope John Paul II. We also bring you notice of some other aspects of Vatican diplomacy.

Germanic Neopaganism, Nordic Nationalism, and Modern Reception of Old Norse Religion and the Vikings Trevor Kieser http://www.duo.uio.no/ Printer: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo iv Summary The purpose of this paper is to examine the modern reception of Old Norse religion and the image of the Vikings in a Nationalist context. I briefly describe the Old Norse pagan religion, as well as several extant sources on Old Norse pagan beliefs, before moving on to investigating the Germanic Neopagan movement which started in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. In order to explain this, however, there needs to be a necessary understanding of the creation and development of the Germanic völkisch movement, which directly led to Germanic Neopaganism. Out of völkisch thinking came the modern-day forms of Germanic Neopaganism, manifesting chiefly in Asatru. Its relation to nationalist thinking and its focus on the Nordic gods have drawn comparisons between Asatruers and Nazis, but this line of thinking is unfair and diminishes the faith of all Asatruers.

The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.

  • Creating the Paradigm: Historical Preconditions of Modern Asatru
    chapter 1 Creating the Paradigm: Historical Preconditions of Modern Asatru Modern Asatru, as well as the current popular appeal of ‘Germanic’ or ‘Nordic’ themes and images, are outcomes of and contributors to a discourse of Germanic myth. This discourse is related to a general tendency to conflate cul- ture, religion and ethnicity, or to culturalize and ethnicize religion and simul- taneously sacralize culture. In this chapter I argue that we can identify two prior eras, two points of crystallization, where similar tendencies were promi- nent and which were formative for later religious and ideological appropria- tions of Germanic myth: German Romanticism around 1800 and völkisch nationalism in the first third of the 20th century. The first formative moment was defined by the scholarship of Johann Gottfried Herder, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, and other intellectuals of German Romanticism. They were the first to systematize ideas about a holistic unity of natural environment, language and history located in a deep past and in rural populations. This unity and its expression in an indigenous mythological heri- tage were perceived as the necessary foundation for a proper nation or Volk. This Romantic constellation proved to be exceptionally malleable, productive and persistent. It influenced both cultural pluralism and exclusionist ideolo- gies with affinities to racism and anti-Semitism. It inspired nationalist move- ments not only in Germany, but in Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon and Baltic countries as well. Moreover, it provided the basis for European and North American counter-cultural movements as diverse as Anglo-Saxonism and modern witchcraft (Wicca). It is no coincidence that the years after 1900 – our second point of crystallization – have been characterized as ‘neo-Romantic.’ Romantic ideas about a unity of the Volk were radicalized in the German völkisch movement and turned into an alternative religion around 1910.
